Shifter jumps up?
When im on the throttle going down the road you can actually see the shifter raising up quite a bit on my 95. I would assume that this is due to a bad mount but my question is would this most likely be a motor mount issue or the trans to c-beam? If anyone has had this problem please chime in?

I know you mean well, but that's not his problem.
95_6spdvette, your C-beam bolts are loose. You can do the beam plates from ZF Doc, or just tighten the bolts from time to time.
There was a period of about 2 years where I gave my C-beam bolts a snug every time I was under the car and changed the oil. I eventually pulled them out and used some red lock tite along with some lock washers and haven't had a problem since.
Be sure to check the front 2 and the back 2.
